View from the deck

View from the deck

From the deck, we looked out over a lawn, a meadow, a forest, and mountains that glittered with snow. The mountains would disappear when clouds moved in, and then appear later in the day when the sun shone.

We cooked together, ate together, and hiked together — nine women from nine different states gathered for a retreat that included some creative writing, an intense discussion, a book of poetry, and about 6 pounds of peanut butter.

I love those mountains. You were lucky to get some sunshine!

Yes, we were very lucky with the weather. I brought a raincoat and never even took it out of my suitcase.

(laughing) Nope! No creepy bunnies. But you'll be happy to hear I took all kinds of naked shots.

Well I was in NYC last week, and there was an installation of sculpture in the Madison Sq. area of naked men statues. They were in the park, around the area, on top of buildings, all over the place. I got some photos, which I'll share soon.

Did you get some random naked strangers to pose with the statues? That would be the right thing to do in that situation, I think.
